4 Persona 5 Easter Eggs and References You Might Have Missed

Musical Callback to Previous Atlus Games

Atlus loves making subtle callbacks to its previous games, and Persona 5 is no different. If you watch the movie The Cake Knight Rises at the movie theater, you’ll notice that the music playing in the background was actually the puzzle preparation music taken straight from Catherine. Catherine’s soundtrack is an ominous and intense remix of classic music pieces, and it was the perfect fit for The Cake Knight Rises, which in itself is a parody of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.

The Bubbly Hills DVD also contains the daily music track from Persona 3: an upbeat number that fits the movie’s carefree tone. There are probably tons of other musical references that we’ve missed in the game as well.
